Due to blast exposure from past deployments, two of our founders struggled to find a pair of sunglasses for photosensitivity with all-terrain compatibility.

This significant obstacle inspired us to form a team comprised of Raiders, Riflemen, and Adventurers alike, dedicated to finding a pair of shades that genuinely fit our community's needs.

Bolt & Arrow was born.

Although united on a world search, time and time again, we came back empty-handed. But instead of giving up on the dream of finding the perfect sunglasses, we rose to the challenge.

We decided to make them ourselves.

In 2016, we set off on a multinational mission to find the most reliable components to create premium sunglasses. We wanted to link the best of all four corners of our world into sunglasses that were comfortable, reliable, and tough enough for the most avid adventurer.

We pulled up to the drawing board and began to map out a plan to create the perfect pair of shades.
